Minnesota Wild Prospects Win Traverse City Prospects Tournament

The Minnesota Wild prospects defeated the Detroit Red Wings prospects 3-1 in the Traverse City Prospect Tournament Wednesday night. Minnesota goalie Matt Hackett had 30 saves, and Cody Almond, J.T. Barnett, and Marco Scandella scored. Hopefully this can carry into training camp where some of these players have the chance to earn a spot on the NHL squad. Congratulations to the Minnesota Wild prospects for their Traverse City Championship!

With Koivu out, Almond is in vs. Detroit

Mikko Koivu will be missing out on tonight’s game against the Detroit Red Wings with an arm injury. This is a result from Tuesday’s game against San Jose, which caused him to miss Thursday’s game against the Flyers as well. Thursday was the first game ever for Captain Koivu to miss, and he is not happy to miss a second. Mikko Koivu is currently the lead scorer on the Wild and, with Latendresse questionable in the health department, the Wild have recalled Cody Almond from the Houston Aeros for some help.
